Here we study leading edge protrusion during chemotactic migration of HL60 neutrophil-like cells by mimicking a 3D environment using microfluidic channels. The channels have cross-sections similar ...

Molecular models for cell migration have focused extensively on cell protrusion, and the breaking of cell symmetry is almost universally portrayed with the cell front forming first. Although data ...

Where the cell is illuminated by the beam of light, the RAC1 gene is activated, causing a protrusion known as a lamellipodium ... reveals a force–velocity relation for collective cell migration. Nat ...

The protein survivin regulates the movement of smooth muscle cells, offering a potential pathway for treating cardiovascular ...

Most of the cells in our bodies don't move—they stay where they're supposed to in service to our organs and biological ...

Montell's team sought to understand the E-cadherin-mediated migration ... Data from the cell movement imaging were mathematically translated into graphs showing cell protrusion and retraction ...

Cell migration is a multistep process fundamental to essential physiological processes, including embryonic development and immune cell migration, in addition to pathological conditions ...

Cancer cell movement during metastasis is a dynamic process regulated by several different signals. However, the way cells ...

A new study integrated mathematical modeling with advanced imaging to discover that the physical shape of the fruit fly egg chamber, combined with chemical signals, significantly influences how cells ...

During mesenchymal migration, a cancer cell moves like a gecko on a wall. Before choosing this mode of movement, the cell sizes up the surface to which it may stick, explained physicist Nadir Kaplan.

Dr. Brüning-Richardson's research is investigating using new drug combinations to prevent or reduce the migration of cancer cells that remain after surgery. The research team hopes to prevent any ...

A large group of young nerve cells moves into the frontal lobe during infants’ first few months of life, scientists report in the Oct. 7 Science. The mass migration might help explain how human ...
